Excerpt from Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1: Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Though everything relating to the life and works of William Penn, is, and always will be of intense interest to the people of the great Commonwealth and city which he founded, it is of course impossible, in a work devoted especially to the history of such Colonial families as have living descendants still resident in or near his city, to give anything like an adequate account of the Great Founder and his part in the founding of the Colony of Pennsylvania on the bed rock of personal liberty in the matter of conscience. Volumes have already been devoted to that purpose, and the many phases of his life, character, aims and attainments, and their influence in, and bearing on the founding and development of the institutions of a free and enlightened people, will prove a fruitful and interesting theme for future historians, so long as such institutions survive. It will be our purpose, therefore, after giving such account of the origin and ances try of the family as is known, to devote our attention more especially to that branch of the family who have living descendants in America.
